Would you have sex in PUBLIC?

A recent survey finds that some people would be willing to have sex with their partners in public -- so long as they're not in plain view and the chances of being caught are slim to nil. In other words, they'd be up for doing the deed in a remove cave at night, or even behind some bushes in a desolate forest. Apparently, when people are horny enough, they're open to fornicating virtually anywhere in order to satisfy their urges.

No matter how much of an adrenaline rush having sex in public might be, I would never do something that could land me in jail. Having sex in public is illegal, and there have been ample reports of people getting caught and arrested for this. To me, there's really no justification for this type of lewd behavior. If you're that desperate to get into each others' pants, why not just rush to a hotel or motel? Even doing it in the car -- while parked in an inconspicuous spot, of course -- is better than having sex out in the open.

Remember, you never know who is around you -- someone could be watching from far away and you would never even know it. Or, there could be surveillance cameras somewhere that are capturing all the action.

Couples who go through with this are being grossly irresponsible. It also sets the stage for other mishaps, like unprotected sex leading to an unwanted pregnancy. Why risk potentially ending up behind bars just because you couldn't keep it in your pants for another few minutes?

This will spell the end of your relationship

When asked to think about the most common culprits for a relationship's going south, most people will point to cheating, complacency, and taking one's partner for granted. While these are all valid -- and documented in various posts on this blog -- there are certain habits on the part of partners that may not kill the relationship right away, but cause it to erode more gradually. Among the most egregious of these is expecting your significant other to be perfect. They pick at your follies any chance they get. Nothing you do is ever good enough. In fact, you will never measure up to an ex, neighbor, or accomplished co-worker. Perhaps this all sounds a bit familiar. When you feel as though you're constantly being put under the microscope, it can inflict lasting damage on the relationship and your self-esteem. You're walking on eggshells all the time, praying you don't say or do something that's going to trigger your partner. This is no way to live, let alone ca

No response from someone IS a response

Make no mistake about it: When you don't get a response from someone -- whether they fail to answer your texts or return your phone calls -- it is still a response, and a powerful one at that. When a person fails to respond, it's a direct reflection of their interest -- or lack thereof -- in the relationship. Few things are more aggravating than having to hound a partner, friend, or relative for some sort of reply after we've reached out to them. Yes, we get busy from time to time, but that doesn't give anyone the right to leave the other person hanging. A terse text with something like "Been busy, will reach out soon" doesn't say much, but at least it shows some effort to bring the other person up to speed on why they've fallen off the radar. Failing to provide a response for weeks -- if not months -- communicates that you are just not a priority, and that you'll have to wait your turn to get this individual's attention. This is n

Misconceptions about quiet people

Earlier today, I came across a Facebook page that features motivational quotes intended to improve people's moods and enhance their overall self-esteem. Interestingly, I noticed two quotes that focus specifically on quiet people: "Be afraid of quiet people; they're the ones who actually think." "The quietest people have the loudest minds." I've observed that most people's views of quiet individuals can fall under one of two categories: 1. The ones who say quiet people are antisocial, suspicious, snobbish, and/or full of themselves. 2. The people who say their introspective nature and propensity to be deep in thought makes them smarter than their more garrulous peers. The quotes above speak to this mindset. As an introvert known to be quiet at work and at social functions where I might not know anyone, I feel I'm well positioned to dispel any inaccuracies surrounding quiet folks. First of all, the above statements misguidedly put
